Before the Tamuany letter was made public
Mr.. Cooper telegraphed to the President, asking
permission to give the letter he (Mr. Cooper had
received to the press. Mr.. Cleveland at once
gave his consent to the publication. The next
morning the letter to Tammany Hall appeared

Voice from Kansas.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Kansas Republicans are beginning to realize
that Blaine is not the only man big enough for
the presidency, and a sentiment is growing rap
idly in favor of ticket composed of Generals
Harrison and Hawley. There is difference of
opinion as to which should occupy the first place.
OF course Indianians are for Harrison first. but
all will be satisfied with the ticket in whatever
shape the convention may place it. All combine
tlons suggested name or the other of these
distinguished gentlemen Then why not put
both the ticket and make success in Indiana
and Connecticut certain. It will not do to de-
pend New York, and with Harrison and Haw-
ley or Hawley and Harrison. we can do without
